Backing up your important files is one of those things that most people know they should do, and yet never get around to doing (just like flossing!). Even if you have a good backup routine in place, chances are you’re storing your backups in the same physical location as your computer which isn’t ideal.

Backup devices, like an external hard drive, can be lost, stolen or damaged in a fire and if you have your backup device in a safe-deposit box, you probably aren’t updating it regularly. That’s where Secure Backup & Share comes in.

Secure Backup & Share automatically backs up files on your computer to an offsite location (i.e. somewhere other than your house) so you can rest assured your files are safe. Also, you can access your files (think wedding and vacation photos or a video from your child’s soccer game) remotely, and share them with your friends and family on a variety of devices (including mobile devices).

High-speed Internet customers automatically receive the Standard 2GB Storage Plan with their subscription. Two gigs is enough storage to back up about 500 music files or 10,000 documents (for the sake of this example we’ve assumed that an average music file is about 4MB and an average document runs about 200 KB).
